SUP Fishing Mate

Year 12 Industrial Design and Technology student Ben Holt recently responded to a need to provide fishing enthusiasts without a boat the opportunity to fish at ocean and estuary fishing spots on a small budget. He converted a battery powered live bait aerator to run on solar power to keep live bait in one compartment of the recycled esky, leaving another compartment free for the catch. Ben then attached a rod holder at the back for trolling of lures whiles paddling on the stand-up paddleboard and manufactured an upholstered seat for comfort while fishing. His innovative design can be quickly attached to any SUP. Well done, Ben.
